Please
Note:
Using
the Playlist feature requires that you are able to host the following
small files on a web server. They form part of the flvPlayer
package, written and designed by
Jeroen Wijering. You can download these files from here.
(498k). Designed as a security feature, the Playlist (xml) and flvplayer.swf
must be hosted on the same server; in this way it stops people leeching
your Playlist.
If you don't have any hosting available to you, those good folk over at www.fileden.com happily provide free hosting accounts, which work perfectly with YouRipper.
- flvplayer.swf (flash movie player)
- ufo.js (Javascript file which loads the flash movie player without triggering a 'click to activate' alert.)
- yourplaylist.xml (when created)
After downloading and unzipping the flvPlayer package, upload both flvplayer.swf and ufo.js to your web server, remembering to keep a note of their directory URL (No Trailing Slash) as YourRipper will prompt you for this information shortly.

Playlist Creation:
Add
URL Link:
Checking this box means that when the video screen is clicked, the following
url will be loaded into a new browser window.
In unchecked state, clicking on the video screen will toggle between Play/Pause
Add
Image URL:
Checking this option will place a thumbnail image into the playlist for
this entry .
Generate
Code:
You will be invited to save this new playlist, containing one entry to
your hard drive. It's probably a good time to upload this xml file into
the same directory as flvplayer.swf etc.
Video Player Settings & Options:
From here you can easily set the size, colors and other options for your video player. You will also need to enter the directory url of flvplayer.swf (NO TRAILING SLASH) and the full url of your playlist, together with filename.
When completed, you will need to select either:
Generate
HTML:
This option will generate code for use on webpages, blogs and forums where
Javascript is either not available or disabled eg. MySpace. (see below)
Clicking the COPY button in the above window will transfer the HTML code to your computer's Clipboard, making it all ready for you to simply Paste (Ctrl+v) into your webpage, blog, forum or MySpace page.
That's it! Congratulations, you have successfully embedded a video.
Generate
Java:
To use this code option you must be able to insert Javascript into the
webpage in question and have access to the <head>
tag. If this is not possible, then please use the Generate HTML
code option.
The Javascript code is split into two sections (see below).
1.
Head Section
Use the COPY button to place this code onto your computer's Clipboard
and then Paste (Ctrl+v) between the <head> and </head> tags
of your webpage.
The file ufo.js is a small Javascript utility which loads the video player into the web browser, but does so in a way that does not require the end-user to 'click to activate'.
2.
Body Section
Again, clicking the COPY button will transfer the code onto your computer's
Clipboard. The code should then be Pasted (Ctrl+v) between the <body>
and </body> tags of your webpage.
That's it! Upload your webpage and then check out your work. Easy-peasie!
